# anaconda auth login

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
anaconda auth login [OPTIONS]
```

## Description

Opens the browser to complete OAuth authentication and store an API key in the configured keyring. If you are already authenticated, you are prompted to confirm before re-authenticating.

> [!NOTE]
>
> If the site is configured with `use_device_flow = true`, a device code flow is used instead of a browser redirect (useful for SSH sessions and headless servers).
>
> ***
>
> If you need to authenticate on a system without browser access, you can set the `ANACONDA_AUTH_API_KEY` environment variable. See [Non-interactive usage](https://anaconda.com/docs/cli-reference/anaconda-auth/getting-started.md#non-interactive-usage).
